Silver Price Analysis: XAG/USD bulls stay hopeful below $23.00

Silver remains on the recovery mode, reversing late Friday’s pullback.
Sustained break of 100-SMA, firmer RSI favor bulls.
Three-week-old horizontal area, 200-SMA become strong resistances to watch.

Anil Panchal FXStreet

Silver (XAG/USD) begins the trading week with an uptick to near $22.70. The bright metal poked the highest levels since mid-September the previous day before easing from $23.20.

Even so, the quote’s ability to stay beyond the 100-SMA amid firmer RSI conditions helps the commodity buyers to stay hopeful.

However, a short-term horizontal area precedes the 200-SMA, respectively around $23.15-25, to challenge the XAG/USD bulls before giving them controls.

Following that, $24.00 and $24.30 may probe the upside momentum prior to highlighting the last month’s peak near $24.85.

Meanwhile, pullback moves remain less destructive until silver prices remain beyond the 100-SMA level of $22.47.

Also acting as the downside filter is the previous resistance line from September 07, near $21.80 by the press time.
